New Business

  • 2022-2023 Work Plan

    • 2021-2022 plan: 

 

The testing team will perform regression testing for any releases as they become available and will test specific JIRA issues as assigned. We will also review and update the Testing Process - 2016.

New members will be onboarded with guided testing for the first JIRA assignments and first full regression tests. We also plan to meet quarterly (or as needed) to review testing procedures for JIRA & full regression testing.

 

  • UAC has asked for greater engagement between subteams or with the ArchivesSpace community as part of this year's work plan

    • Could be working together with another team on documentation gaps, or reaching out to the community, but generally hoping for collaboration and looking for places where team work intersects

    • Don't need to have a clear plan, but need to include some language about seeking opportunities for collaboration

    • Once work plans are submitted, council chairs will be reviewing to suggest places for further collaboration

    • One area that could be focused on is documentation--making sure that information about the feature is included in user or technical docs

      • Could see about collaborating with doc team members during review of JIRA tickets to clarify when documentation updates are needed (could just be done in the ticket itself, if Doc Team were watchers on the tickets already)

    • Need to be aware that testing can come with a quick turn-around, need to be sure that whatever we establish is sustainable--maybe not overly ambitious

  • Work plan draft: 

 

The testing team will perform regression testing for any releases as they become available and will test specific JIRA issues as assigned. We will also review and update the Testing Process - 2016. This review will explore ways of integrating the User Documentation Team, Technical Documentation Team, or other groups into the testing process.

New members will be onboarded regarding procedures at the beginning of the term. Team will meet as needed to revise procedures, and will hold group meetings for testing during JIRA and full regression testing.
